Charles Steel MacNaugh- ton' of Exeter his third nomina- tion for the Legislature, and were urged to work for him in view of his necessary absences from the riding as a campaign speaker. The minister, now 52, was first elected in 1958; en- tered the cabinet in 1961, when John Robarts became premier, and has been head of the high- ways department for 10 months. His name was placed before the convention by W. Eldrid Simmons, Mayor of Exeter, with Douglas Freeman, Clinton, as seconder. Further proposals were so little expected that President Mullin immediately invited a motion to 'close nom- inations, and the meeting laugh- ingly ohliged. Indeed, it was a convention pure and simple: no courtesy nominations a n d speeches, no resolutions,. no musical numbers, not even a pianist for the National An- them, which Ontario PC presi- dent Elmer Bell of Exeter was invited to start. The officers were re-elected by acceptance of a nominating committee list, presented by Elgin McKinley of Zurich. Notwithstanding the rainy night, there was a capac- ity gathering, with 200 seated and maybe a half -hundred standing. Hon. William G.

The meet? ing heard also from Elston Car- diff, M.P.; George McCutcheon of Brussels, candidate in Huron - Bruce, and Mayor William Mil- ler of Clinton, with sentiments of welcome. Elmer Bell, Q.C., conducted the, election of offi- cers, and Mrs. May Mooney, deputy -reeve of Goderich, and vice-president, moved a vote of thanks to the Minister of Edu- cation for his address. ' Opposition charges against the government and its depart- ments were dismissed by the two ministers as a "smear" cam- paign. Mr. McCutcheon said it constituted "a search for things that can only appeal to the bas- er instincts of the people". He dealt specifically with onlj the Northern Ontario Natural Gas scandal, in which a per- jury charge has been laid against a Vancouver pipeline promoter. • George McCutcheon, Huron ex -warden and candidate in Hu- ron -Bruce, invited the south rid- ing people to give Mr. Mac - Naughton "such a vote of con- fidence that the Liberals won't even bother to put up a candi- date another time. (Applause). In fact, I cannot figure how they are going to get one this time." Ascending the platform after his nomination had been con- firmed, Mr. MacNaughton thank- ed the meeting for the expres- sion of confidence, and added that' his job could not be done without the aid of his wife and family. Mrs. MacNaughton was on the platform and received a gift of flowers. The, minister spoke of the nevf bntario Hospital south of Goderich, "operating efficiently and serving the province well." "I suggest to you with some modesty that over the past years we have had a compre- hensive road -building program. I express my thanks to the members of our municipal gov- ernments. I take much satisfac- tion in what. has been done for Huron over the past five years. "The electors appear to face a choice between supporting a rty which recently formed a government with new faces and a new leader who has captured the imagination of the people from one end of ,,the province to the other with his ability to get things done and to, inspire others to get things done; the alternative is to support a party whose campaign up to this point has been one of negative criti- cism, with no indication of a platform portraying them as an alternative to the Robarts team. Already they have started off on a campaign of abuse and vilification and innuendo. Mr. Davis, mentioning the government's trade crusade, said 97.2 per cent of the peo- ple in Ontario, are gainfully employed, and "what is hap- pening here is no accident." He listed increased loans to junior farmers, and a new "youth branch" to assist a half - million young people who left school too soon. L. E. Cardiff, MP for Huron, reminding party members that they never know they have got until a candidate is elected and proves himself, assured them that Mr. MacNaughton had done this. In the Dominion field, he add. e4, "since this big salary in- crease I don't think we will have any trouble in getting men. The air will be full of candi- dates at next nomination meet- ing, and this hall may be so full you cannot get inside." USBORNE .AND HIBBERT MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO. HEAD OFFICE - EXETER, Ont.

Peoretary),,- • Ap information ,dePartMent of the Ontario rederatlen of Agriculture make the" announce- ment made by the Ron, WM, A. fiteWart, Minister of Agricul- ture, of the Government's in- tention to establish a Farm Machinery Board. While we have reservations as to the ef- fectiveness of -such an advisory board, we trust this action will ultimately lead to ways of solv- ing the many problems with which farmers have been con- fronted. The announcement co- incides with the publication of the Report of the Ontario Farm Machinery Investigation Com- mittee which recommends the establishment of such a board. The Ontario Farm Machinery Investigation Committee came into being as a result of a reso- lution endorsed by the 1961 an- nual meeting of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. This resolution requested the Minis- ter of Agriculture to imple- ment a farm machinery act for the Province of Ontario. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture compliments the Farm Machinery Investigation Committee on the excellence of its report. It is obvious the committee has conducted a very thorough and exhaustive invest- igation into all aspects of the farm machinery industry. We also compliment the Minister of Agriculture on his prompt ac- tion in preparing to 'implement the recommendations of this committee at an early date. Each family in Huron provin- cial riding has a "vested inter- est" of about $2,000 in the road expenditure by the Ontario De- partment and the municipalities during the past 10 years, High- ways Minister Charles Mac - Naughton estimated in present- ing statistics at the PC conven- tion in Clinton. "From 1953-4 to the present," he said, "there has been ex- pended in Huron riding on roads $16,088,345; $11,000,000 odd on King's Highways for capital construction and $5,- 000,000 in terms of subsidies to our municipalities. "We have 133 miles of King's Highways here and 1,122 of municipal roads. Expenditure per mile for the 10 -year period in Huron, on King's Highways was $84,160; on municipal roads in terms of subsidies, $4,350. Our King's Highways average in width, 100 feet. There are 528,000 square feet in a mile. In , terms of square feet of highway in the riding we come up with 70,313,760 square feet, or 1,614.18 acres taken up by King's Highways mileage in Hu- ron. There are 43,560 square feet in an acre, therefore the expenditure per acre in terms of area is $6,943. "Average width of a munici- pal road is 66 feet interms of right-of-way, or 348,480 square feet per mile. Therefore we have in the riding of Huron 390,994,560 -square feet, or 8,- 976 acres, and the expenditure per acre works out at $543.75. "The population at a recent count was 32,747. On' an aver- age of four to a family (I got that off the top of my head) we have 8,187. Therefore, each family has a vested interest in 1.972 acres of road and in muni- cipal roads 1.0946, and the ex- penditure per family in Huron and the vested interest in 10 years on King's Highways is $1,369.20, and on municipal roads $596.17, to the extent that departmental subsidies are in- volved, and taking expenditure by the municipalities this is about double, making the vest- ed interest in Huron in excess of $2,000." 1963 FALL FAIRS Bayfield Blyth Brussels Collingwood Dungannon Exeter Fergus Forest Gerrie Sept. 25, 26 Sept. 17, 18 Sept. 26, 27 Sept. 26 - 28 Oct. 4 Sept. 18, 19 Sept. 20, 21 Sept. 20s 21 Oct. 4, 5 Harriston Sept. 18, 19 Ilderton Sept. 27, 28 Kincardine Sept. 19, 20 Kirkton Sept. 26, 27 Listowel Sept. 23, 24 London Sept. 6 - 14 Lucknow Sept. 25, 26 Mildmay Sept. 10, 11 Milverton Sept. 20, 21 Mitchell Sept. 24, 25 Mount Brydges Oct. 1 Mount Forest Sept. 16, 17 Neustadt Sept. 20, 21 New Hamburg Sept. 13, 14 Orangeville Sept. 17, 18 Paisley Sept. 16, 17 Palmerston Sept. 30, Oct. 1 Parkhill Sept. 20 Ripley Sept. 27, 28 St. Marys Oct. 1, 2 SEAFORTH Sept. 10, 20 Shelburne Sept. 21 & 23 Stratford Sept. 16 - 18 Tara Sept. 24, 25 Tavistock Sept. 6, 7 Teeswater Sept. 27, 28 Thedford Oct. 1, 2 Walkerton Oct. 23, 24 Wiarton Sept. 10, 11 Zurich Sept. 21 & 23 International Plowing Match, ' Caledon, Peel County, Oct. 8.12. A. H. K. Musgrave, PreSident of the OFA, feels it is most gratifying to note the Investiga- tion Committee has incorporat- ed in its recommendations, many of the suggestions put forth by the Ontario Feder"ation of Agriculture. He points out, for example, that we asked for adequate research into new types of equipment and rigor- ous field testing under Ontario conditions before offering ma- chines for sale. We asked for a minimum full warranty period of one year in all machines, for the standardization of parts so they could be intercllange- able between machines, ' that repair parts be attainable on Saturdays and holidays during busy •kasoo$; 'that rp.igageole# parte., he made reada .0.41,4P40 fax rat40414* 'period of ten' 'Yoga' torn, the '.4ate of pu chase of any inaCbitie; that deal-. ors be required 'to vrove the enitahility .of machinery by pre, riding an adequate ,:fiemonstra-, tion nn the farmer's own land. These and other recommenda- tions of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture were all includ- ed, in whole or in part, in the report of the Farm. Machinery Investigation Committee, Reports coming into _this of- fice indicate that conditions still . exist where farmers are unable to procure replacements parts, even for new model ma- chines of leading manufactur- ers, without.experiencing disas- trous delays. That such condi- tions should continue to prevail, even ,though they had been con- demned during hearings held by the Investigation Committee, indicates that some form of legislation will be required be- fore the Farm Machinery Board can operate effectively. Huron Farm News Cool, cloudy, damp weather has curtailed the completion of threshing and there is still about 20 per cent of the spring grain crop yet to be harvested. There has been the odd field of white beans pulled, but this will not be general for about 10 days. Corn appears to be an excel- lent crop, but the last few days are not helping it to mature. Good weather will be needed to .put moisture levels down for good harvesting. Sell that unnecessary piece of furniture through a Huron Ex- positor Classified Ad. Phone 141.
